Here I am, the night before I leave for traning camp! My flight takes off at BWI and I will be getting to Atlanta around 2 and then I will finally be meeting my team for the first time in flesh!
Because I am a master at procrastination, I am just now fitting (more like stuffing) everything in my big backpack and it’s quite frustrating, to say the least. It’s all about how you roll your clothes and how you stuff it in your packing cubes and how you re-arrange them in the backpack next to your sleeping bag and a million others things! I’ve probably re-arranged my backpack 100 different times each one with the exact same outcome.
I can’t believe training is ALREADY TOMORROW. I remember looking at my nifty little count-down app on my phone and it being 80 days away and now it’s only 16 hours and 58 minutes until July 19th, 2014 2:00 pm. AND ONLY 44 days until September 1st, when launch is!
Even though I am most definitely not that old, the older I get, the more I value time and the more I realize how fast time really does go by. I’ve also realized that we (I) should stop wishing time by. I wished away highschool and I wanted it to go by so fast because I wanted to be a “grown-up”. And now a month has gone by since graduation and I realize that I will never get that time back again. I will never be a high school student again, I will never be able to say that I go to Boiling Springs High School, instead now I will be saying, I attended Boiling Springs High School. I want to live more in the moment and that’s exactly what I WILL be doing at training camp and most definitely on the field because you know what? Training camp will go by fast. And even the 9 months will go by fast as well. And soon, college will go by fast as well.
Time really does fly, it literally feels like it sometimes, but it’s so precious and every single moment of every single day should be used for one thing. For the glory of God.
